Open Heart of AcceptanceOriginal 30 X 40 inch mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas. Ready to hang. Held in the arms of the Divine, she rests, not in escape, but in surrender. Fire once consumed her. Now, it glows from within: a warmth that speaks of survival, not ruin. The forest behind her remembers what it took to bloom again. And from her chest, the Spirit rises, soft, wild, eternal. This isnt rescue. Its resurrection. A portrait of sacred return, where

it’s a spell where innocence rules

joy is focus in disguise

In the surreal world they inhabit

This piece holds space for becoming

shaped like a heart

That joy doesn’t need permission

each pug holds court with full-hearted energy and a look that says: I’ve seen things

Tucked within a veil of mist and memory

And magic still exists

This is no ordinary moment

guarding her rest with quiet assurance

but the question still lingers
